report, advised that the subject development is in the form of 6 4-unit
clusters on a site slightly larger than 2 acres. In its report, the
Committee further advised that the units are basically semi-detached -
each having 3 storeys; that surface parking is provided at the ratio of
1.5, and that as the building coverage is exceedingly low, there is
ample open space.

Prior to consideration of the foregoing proposal, Alderman Laking
requested permission to be excused as he had an interest in the project
by reason of the fact that he owned a portion of the property in question,
and on receiving assent from His Worship the Mayor, Alderman Laking then
vacated his Chair and left the Council Chamber at 8:30 p.m.

Mr. J. Horvath, architect.was in attendance to speak on behalf of
the developer and he gave a detailed outline of the project proposed.
Alderman Keryluk inquired as to the price of the units and Mr. Horvath
advised they would be sold for approximately $47,000.00 each. Alderman
Traboulay commented that there are no projects like this in the Lower
Mainland as it is a totally new scheme. Alderman Ranger mentioned that
the proposal does not fit in with the Community Plan for that area:
also, a Public Information Meeting would be premature in view of the
fact that no reports have been received from the Public Works Committee
as to servicing, and the Land Sale Committee has not dealt with the
desirability of selling the Grant Avenue road allowance; also, the
residents to the North fronting ont. Prairie Avenue would have to agree
to the City getting title to the land comprising the closed road and
selling it. The City Clerk advised that since this road has not been
constructed, he did not think the Land Registry Office would require
those consents and Alderman Traboulay stated that all reports on the
project will be ready prior to the holding of the Public Information
Meeting. Alderman Ranger questioned the density of 11 units per acre
and inquired whether other alternatives had been looked at for development
of the property involvea and Alderman Traboulay advised that no other
alternatives have been examined - the proposal is unique, meets A.H.O.P.

requirements, provides housing, and fits in with the contour of land in

that area.
